Multiple Yang–Mills solutions in every topological component
Let denote the components of the space of connections with boundary value , and let be the Dirichlet problem for Yang–Mills connections with coupling parameter . For example, in one may consider connections of the form
Multiple-solutions conjecture. For a rather general family of boundary values, multiple solutions to should exist in each component , for every , when is sufficiently small.
The conjecture extends the paper's multiple-solution result to all topological components, including constructions involving a -instanton and a -instanton in the component . Establishing it would require arguments similar to those in the paper, together with longer and more delicate calculations.
